Brake pedal has no pressure

No, bleeders are on the top, fluid lines come in on the bottom.
I got someone to press the pedal with the car turned off, and I tried spinning the wheels. The front drivers side didn't spin, but the passenger side did, but I could hear the pads rubbing the rotor.
Someone else told me I should try bleeding them a few times in a row, then try driving slow and slam the pedal down to maybe get the piston to move, then drive home and try bleeding them a few more times to make sure there is no air or condensation. Does this sound correct?
